To summarize the release engineering process: 4.10-RC3 has delayed again so 4.10-RELEASE won’t be released soon. Recently, RELENG_4_10 branch has received several critical bugfixes. I personally requested a MFC for a security vulnerablity related with timedc, and Tim has MFC’ed some other security related fixes. Matthew Dillon has submitted some VM patches (committed by Ken Smith) and they all get into RC3.
Today Joe Marcus Clarke [marcus@, a member of portmgr@] has announced that the port freeze for FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE has been released. Now FreeBSD ports has been tagged as RELEASE_4_10_0.
Now we have RELENG_4_10 branch :-) There are a lot of -CURRENT improvements has been MFC’ed, however, the most important part of -CURRENT, say, KSE and SMPng, will never be MFC’ed because of the architecture change introduced by this.
Today, NetBSD has announced their start of 2.0-RELEASE works. NetBSD is an excellent operating system that supports many platforms, if not most.
As the FreeBSD 5.2.1 approaching its release day, I begun to think about the possiblity of having a personal customized release.
It’s not too hard for me, and also valuable because the FreeBSD Release Engineering Team has restricted the changes in a point release to be mainly “critical bugfixes only”.
